Don't worry, it has been making it's way around the world ;o)

Do you mean you want ProSel to boot off the Focus Drive when you
 turn on your GS? There is a control panel in System 6.x  that lets you
pick a program other than the finder to boot into (I think it is 'Set Boot',
or 'Set Start' or something like that. Someone with a GS handy can tell
you what it is exactly). For systems earlier than 6.x    IIRC you
rename 'Start' to 'finder' and rename  'Prosel' to 'Start'. I think it is
'Start' but I don't have a GS handy. Is that what you're thinking of? I'm
really not sure what you mean, exactly.

Why would you want to use a buggy, transitional OS? There is absolutely
no advantage I can think of to run Prodos 16. Almost all Prodos 16 programs
work with GS/OS. If you mean ProDos 8 then that is a different story. What
are you trying to accomplish exactly? and why? You are not required to
use the finder with GS/OS. When I had my GS I booted into Salvation
Wings and still used System 6.0.1 with GS/OS.

I hope that helps, but I'm not really sure what you're trying to do.
